As evidenced by the kernel robot report, I think we need to exclude this from allyesconfig. Because our max is 16K, larger than the 8K on x86, we are going to be constantly hitting stack usage errors in driver code. Getting those fixed tends to take time, because the driver authors don't see the warnings when they build for other arches, and because the fixes go via driver trees. Making MAXSMP depend on !COMPILE_TEST should do the trick. cheers
